:wtf: Are you guys using daily lenses?

It’s like $150 for a “6-month” supply that lasts me like 2 years. I usually only wear contacts on the weekend so they last me longer.

My insurance covers $250 per year in contacts and I use about $80 worth. As they last a long ass time for me. :wtf:

I use my insurance for glasses instead of contacts. Even when my prescription doesn't change. That way I have multiple styles and types of glasses for when I don't mind wearing them.

Back to cars.

Used car manager comes to me about the GTI and says “you could have told me it needed brakes”

Yeah, I sent you an email telling you it needed front brakes, had a hole in the front bumper and it’s on summer tires. You told me that’s why you hung the number you did...

“Fuck, I have to buy tires for it too?”

Wait until it comes back for strut noise. :aintcare:

Confirming the stereotype. No :dillerman: EVER reads emails.

Why read when you can ignore the text and ask people when they can come in for a test drive?

I got alpo eyes in that I don't need contacts.
:alpo: eyes? My FIL is 71 years old and still doesn't need any glasses or contacts of any kind. Not when he drives, no readers, nothing. :mindblown:

Pretty much... I have the shitty :scrooge: plan where they pay nothing until I reach my $2500 deductible but they give me $500 in HSA per year, I used like $100 in 2019. Preventative is free so I get physical and teeth cleanings.

Fortunately the cost of my plan is going down by like 75% next year so I’ll be basically getting paid to have healthcare after the company provided HSA.

I did sign up for vision so I’m going to get my eyes checked in January, I really struggle to read music now. So that’s a bit more :troywax:

I don’t think anyone reads emails :rage:

I get really annoyed by this at work. And I’m the damn :dillerman: in that case.

I never do either - but I carry pretty extensive health insurance because of the wife.

I'd cheap out if it was just me.
That is another good point... you and Troy both have someone self employed/contracting.

When both parties are W2 it’s a lot easier from a healthcare perspective.
